The simple point first: the "append" command does what
/File/Append data does.
Ok.
As for clearing data, I've put some experimental things is place.
For the script equivalent of "/File/Clear data set" I've added a
"clear" argument to the "dataset" command. That is, you say
dataset clear
But this has a "preserve" option:
dataset clear --preserve
which has the effect that existing named matrices are not
destroyed.
Similarly, the commands "open" and "nulldata" have a --preserve
option: clear most stuff out, but keep matrices.
Thank you. That is perfect !
I checked the option with three commands (dataset, nulldata and open) and all
of them works very well. I am sure it is a very very usefull feature.
